Creating IEP's for Students with CVI

This workshop on January 22, 2019 will be held at Perkins' campus in Watertown, MA.

The learning needs of students with CVI are uniquely based on the assessment of visual behaviors that are the hallmark of CVI: attention to color, attention to environmental movement, the impact of lighting, the impact of complexity (of object, of array, of faces and sensory complexity), any visual field preferences, visual latency for looking or for understanding what is seen, lack of distance curiosity or attention, difficulties with visual novelty, and differences in visual motor abilities.

The IEP needs to reflect these areas of difficulty in the student profile, in goals and objectives and in accommodations / methodologies to ensure access to visual learning. Creating quality IEPs will foster visual improvements and recognition of materials and learning sequences

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

• Describe three components of the student profile for a student with CVI.
• List three material presentation accommodations for CVI.
• List three physical positioning methodologies for CVI.
• Describe one method to provide staff/parent training in the overall concepts of CVI.
